Expanding Contraception Access Through Extended Supply Policies
Extended supply of contraception policies require state insurance plans to cover more than one month of contraceptive supplies, such as oral contraceptive pill packs, through a single prescription fill. By reducing the need for frequent pharmacy visits and prescription refills, these policies aim to make it easier for people to consistently use their preferred contraceptive method.

Where does Pennsylvania stand?
Pennsylvania is falling behind its neighbors in expanding access to contraception through extended supply coverage policies. While many surrounding states allow individuals to receive multiple months of contraception in a single dispensing, Pennsylvania has not adopted such a policy, creating unnecessary barriers to consistent contraceptive use and continuity of care.
